The illusive Boxford 260vmc

[MHJ]

Morning.
Mine is set up like this:
Motor Tuning and setup
X steps per = 1000
Velocity = 1200
Accelleration = 500
Step pulse = 5
Dir pulse = 0

For the Y: the same

For the Z:
Steps per = 1000
Velocity = 1200
Accelleration = 500
Step pulse = 5
Dir pulse = 0

For the spindle:
Steps = 200
Velocity = 600
Accelleration = 1000
Step pulse = 5
Dir pulse = 0

And in the Pulley Selection:
Pulley 1
Min speed = 0
Max speed = 2000
Ratio = 1

Hope this helps,
Regards,
John.

Thanks John, I suppose the first question for you is do you have a 260vmc? and are your ball screws and steppers standard? and if so what is the pitch of your ball screws? and what is the stepper to lead screw gearing?, Inquisition out of the way its nice to have the details you posted as i would like as much information in this thread about these machines as possible, the reason I started the thread is because so little information is available on the net About it.

Every little helps as the woman said when she ........... in the sea!!
